From what I know Debian based systems like Ubuntu are not using an inittab file.

Instead of that you can decide about the start up scripts using the update-rc.d command.

In order to start/stop the "Gnome GUI" you can remove the gdm script from the starting list.

Try,

man update-rc.d

The last version of Ubuntu to contain an inittab file was Feisty.

So I want any thing to do it (i.e like Fedora Core)

Ok , My Question is : How to enable text mode ? Thnx

Then I suppose the simplest way to do that is to go

System/Administration/Services

and uncheck the gdm service (Graphical login manager)

I believe this will do the job
